Default GPs cycling Software & tracking - 09-19-2009, 08:05 PM

I have yet to purchase the phone. it is down to iphone , BB Bold or BB Storm (is it true that storm has no wifi).
What I'm looking for is gps software that will act as a cyclometer, giving me distance time Av. speed & tracks my course so I can download it on to my home computer.
Also want to be able to have my wife track me as I ride, from our home computer (I know that could be a dangerous thing to show her).

I do quite a bit of geocaching as well so any software advice would be appreciated.

I really don't want to have to pay monthly or yearly for the software, I don't mind paying for software.

Just went to say
Thankyou for all your time & help.

GPSLogger provides some of those features. It can export your track to GoogleEarth or gpx/garmin formats. It also provides its own display of stats. Here's yesterday's bike ride:

This looks good. How do you export the track to Google maps (or google earth)?

The program allows you to export the tracks in KML or GPX format for Google Earth. I think GE allows you to open the track in Google Maps. The export is either to the microSD card or via email to yourself.

Sorry to be so dense, however, can you give me instructions on how to get this type of map. I have gotten the track to convert to a GPX format, can import it to Google Earth, however cannot get it to display in this type of nice simple map format. Thank you in advance.
